Lindemans Pêche is a young lambic enriched with peach juice. And this fruit beer is a real peach! It is nice to drink at any time of day. Or on a sunny patio. Personally, I enjoy it with my girlfriends. And what we talk about is of no concern to you.

Pours clear gold with a brief off-white head. Some patches of lace are left on a Lindeman's flute glass. Lots of carbonation races upwards in random columns.

The peach is over the top, just exploding from the glass. Once this settles down, there is a mild chalky-wheat aroma.

Very sweet, although it is less than expected from other Lindeman's beers. There is a light sour peach flavor, then a quick burst of peach in the finish. The rest of the finish is long, with mild tartness.

This has a light to thin body with the texture of gossamer silk. Alcohol is surprisingly noticeable, even expecting it to be present given the lightness of the beer. Carbonation is fine and fizzy and sugar seemingly falls out of suspension to collect on the lips.

This may be the best of Lindeman's line-up, and certainly is most appropriate with a brunch in the warmer months. Although, one would be pleased with it as a later afternoon spice of life.

Tastes more like a peach version of mango Jumex than a lambic. Quite sweet. Very subtle lambic funk. Delicious, but not very "beer-y". Would give this to a beer hater in the summer and they'd be happy with it. Not quite worth the price, but a great entry into the world of wild fermentation.

Had Lindemans Pêche a decade ago, and again today, poured from 12-oz. capped & corked bottle, label stamped "L BK05SPE," apparently indicating bottled on Nov. 15, 2019, into Teku tulip 3.0.

Pours slightly cloudy orange-gold, with 1-finger near-white head, which dissipates to a persistent ring, leaving only a little splotchy lace. Big aromas of sweet peach and tart lambic bite off pour, with the fruity aroma soon deepening to ripe, fleshy peaches, and continuing with the bite into a bit of yeasty funk as warms. On tasting, begins mildly tart with huge, deep flavors of peach, over a mild, just noticeable cracker malt base, before a crisp, exceedingly drying finish.

"Movin' to the country
Gonna drink a lot of peaches."

What a pleasant little sipper! On tap at The Brass Tap, Cedar Falls, IA; served in a snifter. Clear light orange in color, with a thin white head that settled to a wispy ring. Big aromas and flavors of peach up front, with a slight note of yeast funk. Sweet as expected, but not cloyingly so. Light bodied, with a clean and crisp finish. Nicely balanced, with the natural peach juice providing a tasty dimension to the base lambic. This would be an excellent introduction to the fruited lambic style, but don't overlook it on that basis. It's a fine beer that anyone can appreciate.

4/29/23 Single bottle bought from Kroger's in Morgantown, WV.

Clear, gold color with little head and no lacing.

Aroma is peach cider.

Taste follows aroma. Can slightly get clove and banana unless we are imagining it .... Very smooth and drinkable.

First time with this style. Found this one very sweet and tart, drinkable and very similar to a cider.

750 foiled/capped/corked bottle served in a little Cantillon glass. Date info is indecipherable: LBE 12V PE 19713.

Pours clear light golden with a fairly small head initially that surprisingly builds a bit after the pour. Healthy carbonation -- very fine and slow, but lots of it. Smell is very, very peachy. Like, the smell you'd get when you open a can of peaches. Maybe a slight grassy/woody character in the background.

Taste is again super peachy. It's more delicate and less sweet than peach juice (again thinking about cans here). At first I thought "this is way too sweet" but really after a second sip I'm really enjoying the slam of peach.

Mouthfeel is light, clean, crisp, very slight prickle. Overall, I'm surprised that I really like it -- I thought it was going to be a chore getting through this. But, it's not like the super dry, very tart fruit lambics I've had from other places like Cantillon and 3 Fonteinen, so if that's what you're looking for, it's not going to scratch that itch.

First time trying a bona-fide lambic... ("U" in code apparently marks this as a 2021 bottling) Moderate cork pop, pour into a 15 cl snifter reflects an effervescent translucent gold, bone-white pillowy, foamy, but rapidly receding capper, reduced to a persistent, dense ring around surface perimeter. Some submerged particulates doing a slow swim. Nose is, well, peachy. And the characteristic barnyard funk. Taste is prominently sweet & peachy, but with a unique dank/funk/must that somehow isn't repulsing me as yet. Swallow is sweet with that pronounced musty character, fizzy and tangy.

This bottle was meant for sharing, but presently i'm left to quaff it up all to myself.

Poured from 8.45 bottle into tulip glass. Thin white head dissipates quickly, hazy golden color, abundant carbonation. Aroma very fruity and yeasty. Mouthfeel is much like a carbonated soda. Flavor is very sweet, lots of peach, along with other fruit sugars, very mild hops. Overall: very good, but not something you could session.

I might be over-rating these beers but they're all so damn good, fresh and clean. Much better than a lot of the fruit juice you'll find out there for sure. I wish they were cheaper for the size but the product is very good

Looks beautiful, crystal clear amber color with nearly white head and active carbonation.
Aroma is peach, pretty much all I got but as that is what is expected, I guess they nailed it.
The taste is peach, almost like peach juice. Very little funk or sour and no noticeable hops.
The feel was viscous, like apple juice, rather lends itself to the peach juice theory.
I know lambics are often subtle, but the peach here overwhelms any subtle nuances.
Ah well, it’s tasty anyway.
